Carbon Panel May Seek Grant Community Newsline

Kim Miller, the executive director of the Carbon County Action Committee for Human Services, said the committee will look into the availability of funds from the state's School Age Child Care Program.

It was reported last week that the committee will definitely apply for a $5,000 grant. Miller said the committee has not voted to apply for the grant.

At a committee meeting last week, Miller said there was a possibility that the funds, if secured, would be used for a child-care program at L.B. Morris Elementary School in Jim Thorpe. She said such a program is only in the exploratory stages, however, and is far from being a reality.
